It was a miraculous escape: Bhavana

Accidents during the shooting schedules are quite common in the lives of actors, especially action heroes, but when it comes to heroines, who mostly dance and look pretty, accidents are comparitively rare! Anyway, things can go wrong anytime, anywhere and to anybody, right?

Recently, popular Tamil-Malayalam-Telugu actress Bhavana had a narrow escape when she fell from a bike during the shooting of her Kannada film Jackie, being directed by hit maker Soori with Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar in the lead.

According to sources, the makers were shooting a scene in the Bangalore Highways, involving Puneeth and Bhavana as riding a bike. Bhavana was supposed to filch a stick of sugarcane from a passing lorry. Everything was fine till the third take, but to everybody's surprise, the lorry accidentally picked up speed, Bhavana lurched forward to take the sugarcane, and consequently the bike went out of control.

As a result, Puneeth and Bhavana fell from the motorcycle. Bhavana suffered several bruises on her hands and feet and was taken to hospital immediately. The doctor advised her to rest for at least a week. Bhavana said: "It was a miraculous escape for me, as I was dragged on the road when I fell and sustained bruises on my left leg. There is swelling and doctors have advised me rest."
